I love to meet new people and with common interests beginning with health can't be a bad begining. I am happily married to my very caring husband Rene' for 13 years this September.

I love to meet new people and with common interests beginning with health can't be a bad begining. I am happily married to my very caring husband Rene' for 13 years this September. I love my cats, who are like my children, this stems from not being able to have them. I have had several surgeries that have led to the discovery that I have scar adhesions disorder (I don't like the use of DISEASE here). I have been given permission by my many Dr.'s to start exercising with light walking, some stepping and exercise without weights and lots of stretching. I was on SparkPeople before and had to leave it when my depression hit a hard when my pain was going on uncontrollably. But I'm back and ready to do this for me not my doctors, not my family but alll for me, with plenty of help here at SP!!! Thank God for SP!!!!!

My Goals:
My goals are to be able to feel healther, more confident, not feel sick all the time. I will slowly increase time and speed every 2 weeks and add new exercises every 3 weeks.

My Program:
I will use my Treadmill for walking and one day for jogging. I have several aerobic videos that I have tried and liked in the past. There are several and I will rotate those on aweekly basis. My friend Michelle is on here now and we will be keeping each other in check.

Hey San Antonio Sparker----- how is 2011 going so far? I am leaving you this awesome comment because I want you to stop by the San Antonio Spark Team and check out some of the new threads and new people who have joined the team since December!

A lot of people stumbled over the holidays and now that they have passed, it is time to pick ourselves up and JUMP back in the deep side of the pool! Whether you are restarting-- or JUST beginning-- we can help you! It is a new year and time for a NEW YOU!

Being on a weight loss journey can be lonely-- but if you get active on your spark team, you will have hundreds of people who would be happy to cheer you on!

Sometimes on our journey we need a really giant boost of motivation-- if you find yourself in a place where you need help staying on track or getting BACK on track, please visit this link: http://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/team_ messageboard_thread.asp?board=0x560x39 079546

AHHHHH, I'm so frustrated, I just want to be able to jog a mile without feeling like I'm going to fly off the treadmill. okay, maybe I'm pushing myself too too hard, too fast. I will shoot for 1/2 mile then...pray for me!

dont rely just on motivation, keep your attention, your focus on being healthy, how it feels to get in a great workout, how eating well gives you clarity and you feel less weighed down and lethargic. keep in mind that you are not going to see all of the benefits in one week or one month but you will feel better everyday you choose to be actively healthy, can you just imagine what it will be like after a year, 2 -3 years, boy now that is something to look forward too but dont take my word for it.

Thanks for adding me as a friend! Glad you are able to start exercising again. I've finally joined the local rec center. I worked out at home for over a year, but am really enjoying going back and doing the elliptical and the machines. I get a little "high" from it and hope you get the same benefit as well. Remember, though, one day at a time.
